✨ Episode Overview

What do you do when someone you know—maybe a friend, classmate, or even a family member—says, “I’m gay” or “I’m trans”? 🤔 What do you do if you're invited to a gay wedding?

Do you avoid the topic? Argue? Just accept everything? Or is there another way?

In this episode of Be the 25, we’re talking honestly, carefully, and most importantly—biblically—about how Christians can navigate these situations with both truth and love. ❤️✝️

🪜 4 Steps Every Christian Can Take

1. Know What the Biblical Worldview Is 📖
Understand what God’s Word says about gender, marriage, and sexuality. Opinions and culture shift, but God’s Word never changes.

2. Treat Each Person as Made in the Image of God 🌍
Every person has value, worth, and dignity. No matter their identity, they are still created in God’s image and should be treated with respect, kindness, and compassion.

3. Point Them to the Truth 🔦
God placed you in their life for a reason. Share His truth with gentleness and respect, showing them the hope you’ve found in Jesus.

4. Don’t Compromise the Truth 🛑
Real love doesn’t avoid the hard conversations or water down God’s Word. Stay faithful to Scripture—even when it’s uncomfortable.

📖 Scriptures Mentioned in This Episode

• Genesis 1:27
• Matthew 19:4–5
• Romans 1:26–27
• 1 Corinthians 6:9–11
• Romans 3:23
• Deuteronomy 22:5
• Romans 10:14
• 1 Peter 3:15
• Ephesians 4:25
• Matthew 11:19
• Matthew 10:37
• Galatians 1:10

💬 Takeaway

These four steps help us live out truth without hate and love people without compromise. By knowing what the Bible says, showing respect, pointing people to Jesus, and staying firm in God’s truth, we can make a real impact for Christ in the world around us.

Messages about gender identity are everywhere – and it can feel confusing or overwhelming. Everyone’s got an opinion, but not all of them are true. ❌ We’re breaking down 4 powerful truths 💥 about who you are and what God says about gender identity. So, if you've ever struggled with about WHO YOU ARE or WHAT TO BELIEVE - or you want to boost your confidence and clarity when the world says one thing and God's Word says another ... this one’s for you. 🎯

We’re not here to shame anyone—we’re here to speak truth with love ❤️ and give you confidence to stand on what doesn’t change. Let’s go

🧠 WHAT IS GENDER IDENTITY?
Gender identity is how someone views themselves—in terms of being male, female, or something else. But just because someone feels a certain way doesn't mean it's what God designed.

🔥 WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ Don’t be confused—there are only two.
God created male and female—on purpose. There’s no in-between or custom identity. His design is clear. 🧬

✅ You don't get to pick and choose. You don’t assign your gender—God already did when He made you. 👶💡

✅ Don’t change your look—it blurs what’s true.
Trying to change your appearance to look like the other gender is deceptive and adds more confusion and pain. People should be able to look at a person’s clothing and be able to tell whether they are male or female – just as God created them to be.🪞⚠️

✅ You can’t lose the real you.
Your original God-given gender identity remains the same despite hormone treatments or surgical sex surgeries. This is backed by science. Men have one X and one Y chromosome and women have two X chromosomes. Your original gender stays with you – no matter what.

📖 SCRIPTURES FROM THIS EPISODE:

🔹 Genesis 1:27 – “God created mankind in his own image – He made them male and female.”
🔹 Psalm 139:13–14 – “You formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb… I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
🔹 Job 10:8 – “Your hands shaped me and altogether formed me.”
🔹 Isaiah 45:9 – “Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker… Does the clay say to the pot-ter, ‘what are you making?’”
🔹 Romans 9:20 – “But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”
🔹 Deuteronomy 22:5 – “A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.”
🔹 1 Corinth

None of the girls at Camp Mystic expected that day to be their last. But a tragic flash flood swept through the camp, ending lives too soon and sending shockwaves through their families and communities. This heartbreaking event leads us to ask a question we often avoid: What happens when we die?

In today’s episode of Be the 25, we’re pressing pause on the noise of life to focus on a reality we will ALL face one day. But there’s good news — for those who belong to Jesus, death is not the end — it’s the beginning of something amazing. 🙌

• A powerful message from Charlotte Brodhuhrer, who anticipated heaven with hope and joy 💌
• An invitation to open the door to Jesus — before it's too late (Revelation 3:20, John 6:37) 🚪❤️

Can dreams, experiences or feelings be trusted when it comes to something as serious as where a person will spend eternity?

📖 WHAT GOD’S WORD SAYS:
We don’t have to wonder. God already gave us the truth in His Word. And here's what He says:

🛑 NOT EVERY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE COMES FROM GOD:

·       2 Corinthians 11:14 — “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”

·       John 8:44 — “There is no truth in him [Satan]... he is a liar and the father of lies.”

·       Revelation 12:9 — Satan “leads the whole world astray.”

🧪 WE’RE TOLD TO TEST EVERYTHING:

·       1 John 4:1 — “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits...”

·       1 Thessalonians 5:21 — “Test everything; hold on to what is good.”

🚫 BEING “A GOOD PERSON” ISN’T ENOUGH:

·       Romans 3:10 — “There is no one righteous, not even one.”

·       Romans 3:23 — “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

·       1 John 1:8 — “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves…”

·       1 John 1:10 — “If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar…”

🎉 THE GOOD NEWS:

·       1 John 1:9 — “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us…”

·       1 John 2:1-2 — “We have an advocate… Jesus Christ… the atoning sacrifice for our sins.”

·       Romans 6:23 — “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.”

·       Romans 5:8 — “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

·       Romans 10:9 — “If you declare, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe… you will be saved.”

·       Romans 10:13 — “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

✝️ WHY JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY:

·       John 14:6 — “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

·       Acts 4:12 — “Salvation is found in no one else… no other name by which we must be saved.”

·       Hebrews 1:1-2 — “In these last days, [God] has spoken to us by His Son.”

·       Colossians 2:9 — “In Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.”

·       John 1:14 — “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.”

Have you ever been shocked when a Christian leader—or someone you really looked up to—messed up big time? 😞 Maybe they fell into sin, lived a double life, or acted nothing like Jesus. It hurts. It’s confusing. And sometimes... it shakes your faith. But it doesn’t have to shatter it. 💔➡️💪 In this episode of Be the 25, we walk through 4 biblical ways to keep your faith from falling apart when someone in the faith lets you down.

📖 KEY TAKEAWAYS 

REFOCUS 👁️: Keep Your Eyes on Jesus
Your faith was never meant to be built on pastors, influencers, or artists — but on JESUS alone.
📖 Hebrews 12:1–2 – “…fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith…”

REFLECT 🔎: Examine Your Own Life
When others fall, take a moment to check your own heart and walk with God. 🛤️
📖 Colossians 1:10 – “…walk in a manner worthy of the Lord…”
📖 Psalm 139:23–24 – “Search me, God, and know my heart… see if there is any offensive way in me…”

REPENT ↩️: Turn Around if You’re Drifting
If there are things in your life that don’t line up with your faith — don’t ignore them. Repent now.
📖 2 Corinthians 13:5 – “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith…”

RESPOND 📣: Show Grace & Speak Truth
When critics use failures as a reason to walk away from the church, this is your moment to gently speak truth and point them back to Jesus. 💬❤️
📖 Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
📖 1 Peter 2:22 – “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
📖 Matthew 23:2–3 – “…do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.”

💡 QUOTES WORTH REMEMBERING:
🗣️ “Only Jesus belongs on the pedestal.”
🗣️ “Truth is still truth—even when a flawed person says it.”
🗣️ “While it’s easy to call people out, God invites us to call them back… to GRACE, to TRUTH, to JESUS.”

🕵️‍♂️💥 Ever wondered if there's REAL PROOF that Jesus rose from the dead?
What if we investigated it like a real missing person case?

In today’s episode of Be the 25, we’re going full detective mode 🧠🔎 as we start breaking down some of the most common theories people throw around to explain away the resurrection:

❌ "Jesus wasn’t really dead..."
❌ "Someone stole the body..."
❌ "The disciples went to the wrong tomb..."
❌ "It was all just a hallucination..."
❌ Or even wild stuff like Jesus having a twin brother 👥…or aliens took Him👽

But do those theories hold up when you actually LOOK at the EVIDENCE? 👀📜
We’re starting this two-part investigation by examining the eyewitness accounts found in the Gospels 📖 and tackling the first major theory — the idea that Jesus never really died on the cross.

💥 Spoiler alert: He didn’t just faint. What He endured was BRUTAL. 😓💔
We walk through the physical suffering Jesus went through — from being slapped, beaten, mocked, and flogged — to show why the "swoon theory" doesn’t stand a chance.

👣 Along the way, you’ll learn:

• Why the Gospel writers’ different details actually make their stories MORE believable, not less 🧩
• What a Roman flogging really was and why it was often deadly 💀
• Why eyewitness testimony matters 🗣️📝

📣 Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:17 that if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless.
So yeah — this matters. A lot. 😮‍💨

📌 Next episode is Part 2, where we’ll investigate more of the resurrection theories and see what the evidence really says about what happened that first Easter morning. Don’t miss it!
